Maintaining Culture through immigration

 

When people immigrate from different countries around the world with hopes of coming to Canada, they have to take chances.

Lots of people have invested their life into there own cultures and religions so they can’t just waste them for no reason when moving to a new Country. When people make one of the ultimate sacrifices to immigrate to Canada they are choosing to leave behind all the past cultures and religions. One of the ways that people will maintain their culture is through aboriginal short stories. The elders will tell their story to the youngest to make sure that their legacy gets passed on to the next. This is how so many stories get told today is because the elders in aboriginal culture are so vigilant to continue the cycle. Some people are not so lucky though when immigrating to Canada. They can be torn apart by our laws that can be harsh, our weird cultures and etc. Most people who immigrated in the earlier years of Canada had an easier chance of getting in but now they need to undergo a few different test one being the boarder entry point test that asks all immigrants get a score of 50 points or higher to be let into Canada. Now days in Canada if you have connections when entering you have a good chance of setting up a new life.

In the end I believe that Canada has come along way from letting only people with big businesses and lots of money come in. Canada has really shown that it can help people maintain culture through Immigration.
